Compaction Length vs Sample Length • melt segregated into melt-enriched bands in samples that had initial compaction lengths less than or on the order of the sample thickness. • Compaction length (δc) D. McKenzie(EPSL,1984) : Length scale over which φ decreases to φ/e, solid-fluid flow are coupled, melt pressure and melt fraction gradients can be sustained. • The compaction length (δc) of a partially molten sample is determined by the permeability, k, the melt viscosity, μ, the bulk viscosity, λ, and the shear viscosity, η, of the partially molten rock as
